OK thanks Billi, I'll give it a try !! I decided to unhide my network and then the pocket book found it and I was able to make the connection. When I checked on the router I could see the pocket book listed as a connection with the IP address but it didn't give any name to the device.Perhaps this functionality is not available with the pocket book. Anyway I'm in business with a connection so that's the main thing - not inclined to pursue the hiding again for the moment!!
